Very nice! I really like seeing him drawn in your own style--it's too easy to just copy the style of the original artist. I absolutely LOVE your color choices, shading, OMG perspective, and OMG THE BUILDING. The only suggestions I might make are a bit more shine on the edge of his shiny sword, a tiiiiny bit more shine on the right side of his hair (looks just a little bit flat where the sun would hit it), and to pull a bit more of the orange or yellow-orange from the sunset background into the highlights on his skin and the hakama (pants), very lightly like you did on the other clothes. White clothes and light skin reflect surrounding atmospheric effects more than other colors would.

Very very awesome job!

Hmmmm, thanks for the critique. I'll keep that in mind for future pics. This was my first time trying to do lighting other than "bright sunny day" so I still have a lot to learn

No problem. You did a lot of things well in that regard, like using cool colors for the shadows since the light source was a warm color. That's something easy to overlook. Plus your contrast is really nice between shadows and highlights. I really enjoyed spending so much time looking at it.

This looks like you put a lot of effort into it! The background and the lightning is beautiful. Regarding the nose: I think that it suits your style. I mean, it's obvious that you didn't just copy the style of Watsuki (for the eyes look much different as well) and so it looks perfectly fine the way it is

Looks really good, one complaint... the NOSE! > Kenshin has an extremely pointy noise, and you completely nullified that! 👍: 0 ⏩: 1

random-panda In reply to Garaladin [2012-01-30 14:18:25 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Yeah the nose could probably be a little pointier.

WHOOO KENSHIN!!!
Okay, moment over.^^
It looks really cool! The detail in the background is really striking. I love the building and the sky.

Thanks! Yeah that building was a pain, its referenced off of Nagoya Castle (even though Kenshin never went there). I just made up my own parts for where I needed to.

It works, though. And you did a great job with it.^^
I can't draw Japanese-looking buildings worth anything, they're so complicated...

Absolutely, after just drawing this one, I've decided to never do a comic that take place in feudal Japan, lol

XD. I feel for Watsuki... No wonder he fills his author's comments with "I'm a terrible artist."

Same here. I love the way he draws eyes and people, he always puts so much detail into it. It's very expressive, too.
